hatcity Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Contact the Mack Museum, give vin#. They can tell you spec's as it came off the line, original owner. A "donation' although not required is always a good thing.

Superdog Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 You left out the most important number to get your info.You should have a number between the 8 and L,which should be a 6 if your truck has a ENDT676 300 series Maxidyne.The complete breakdown of your VIN is as follows:RW - model - SuperlinerS steel frame7 - 700 series(long hood,but all Superliner series 1 were 700's)86 - ENDT676 300 Maxidyne (283 hp)L - lightweight components(alum.fuel tanks,rear end carriers,etc.)S - twin screw rear endT - tractor 49200 - 49200th truck built in Hayward plant Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/15088-need-help-with-a-vin-number/#findComment-60800 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Only way you'll be able to get the info on the transmission would be to have your dealer or the Mack Museum to run the number and get the build sheet.Only the engine can be decoded from just reading the VIN.

fifth wheel Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 You have some numbers missing. The eleventh letter in the 17 digit vin number is the manufacturing plant.

Superdog Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 All Superliners were built in Allentown.FWNot true,they were built in Hayward,CA from the time they were introduced until the Hayward plant closed.Then production of the Superliner,Cruiseliner and Valueliner was moved to PA.

The eleventh letter in the 17 digit vin number is the manufacturing plant.This truck was built prior to the 17 digit VIN.If I remember right,it was sometime in 1981 that this was started.

Guest 45LMSWM Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 All Superliners were built in Allentown.FWAs stated earlier, all Superliners were not bilt in Allentown. I drove a '79 RWS712LST for a few years and that truck was built in Hayward, CA. It was a real party to get parts for. Most guys at our Mack Dealer wold't even look for us because it was built in Hayward.-John Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/15088-need-help-with-a-vin-number/#findComment-60872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
